Ninja hits back at fans saying he\u2019s changed from the \u2018Old Ninja\u2019 Dexerto\/Twitch screenshotTyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins has lashed out at calls from his stream chat for him to return to his \u2018old Ninja\u2019 ways while streaming, explaining it from his perspective. The former professional Halo player turned live streamer, would regularly freak out with explicit rants when playing games such as Fortnite, H1Z1 and PlayerUnknown\u2019s Battlegrounds. However, he has toned his reactions down and ceased swearing \u2013 to the annoyance of parts of his viewership \u2013 as he began growing bigger and bigger on Twitch. 500Ninja is often seen as the face of the live streaming platform and a huge influence on his audience, putting him under a microscope that many other streamers aren\u2019t. His actions and body language are scrutinized to the highest degree, so it should come as no surprise that he was angered at people asking him to \u2018change.\u2019 \u201cLet me be perfectly clear, I am the same person,\u201d Ninja said, beginning his passionate on-stream rebuttle. \u201cI\u2019m just as hype and I freak out just as much! Old Ninja, the only difference is if I died, I would say \u2018son of a.., mother\u2026, are you \u2026 kidding me, get this \u2026 out of the game, you piece of \u2026\u2019 That is it. That\u2019s the only difference.\u201d He continued: \u201cI\u2019m the same person, I just don\u2019t swear alright. And guess what, when I freaked out one time, I got two people who freaked out on Reddit and made posts and roasted me. And I got a guy who faked a ban to smear my name! That\u2019s what happened when I freaked out, so I can\u2019t do that anymore.\u201d Ninja has grown exponentially in the past two years and his turn to a more family-friendly streamer makes sense, despite some long-time viewers not enjoying his streams as much. Opening himself up to a wider audience certainly has more benefits for Ninja as seen by his link-up with the NFL\u2019s Detroit Lions and sponsorship with Red Bull.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
